Obama is Brutus and backstabbing egotistical maniac that just wants more glory from everyone.

-16 ( +18 / -34 )

Biden has said she "could be president" but would not step down unless hard polling data or a medical condition persuaded him he could not beat Trump in November.

One scenario I have heard floated, don't know if President Obama is behind it, is Biden actually resigning from the presidency for medical reasons and Harris taking over.

Harris would then have the power and advantage of incumbency along with the Biden campaign warchest and her position starting off against Trump would be much stronger.

Harris is more of a liability than Biden is, make no mistake. She’s a hard wit that was picked because she is a woman and non white. Here social skills are dire and she has the personality of a fish.

Describes a lot of politicians on either side of the aisle.

That and her race and gender are no matter; she is the VP and time is of the essence.

I’m not concerned about the gender or race but just she’s very unappealing and doesn’t seem to know what she’s on about half the time

Please remind them that election is in November, this year. Now already in July.

His COVID diagnosis came at the worst possible time for his campaign

The Dems have nobody to blame but themselves. It's been weeks since Biden had his latest booster and he's always walking around without being double masked.

RFK in contrast, has not contracted Covid-19.

Black and Hispanic and other minority are ultimate deciders,White vote is split even,so who win the minority when the election

RFK is a crackpot conspiracy theorist. I wouldn’t trust anything he says. He has about as much relationship to the truth as Trump.

If he was on here, he’d probably be replying to his own posts.

She,isnt,charisma,but can make,some sense.

I think she knows WW2 is over and Jimmy Connors wasn’t president.

what happened ????

It was Obama who was running the white house for last three years...

It is a market secret ..

Now Obama says he should go?????? why???

Did obama find another puppet better than Biden???

The whole democratic leftiees are crazy now.

Because now the world come to know that they were cheating the party members and making making the division ... to make them get more richer and richer.. Using the party members as their slaves ...

So look 1000s are leaving the democratic party now every day... Half of them going to support and vote KENNADY ...

Time to retire. Clear to everyone except Biden. I guess power is hard to give up on. He should do the right thing rather than continuing this embarrassing downfall and bow out gracefully.

They nearly have no choice other than Harris if Biden pulls out.

$91 million in campaign funds is exclusive to Biden/Harris.

Under the rules that $91 million would have to be returned to donors if both are not candidates.

So at least one of them must head the ticket in order to get that money for the campaign.

No one else has the funds or the time to get enough funds/donations.

Maybe too late for gracefully?

He beat Trump and did an okay job. Had he announced he wasn’t going to run for a second term at a suitable time, he would have retired with a decent legacy.

As it stands, he must accept blame for damaging his party.

In this scenario she wouldn't be debating Vance.

Biden is not the only one running,their are Governors Senate, House of Representatives races,State Election and County election Biden will generally get these party members and their are referendum on the ballots , people will turn out the regardless,so you foreigner do not know anything who is running, beside Biden, thousands of other Democrats are on the ballots,they should worry about their own issues,separate from Biden

the most interesting thing is that Biden today is no different than Biden 2-3 years ago.

Just Democrats have finally come to the obvious conclusion that without COVID voting and the basement hiding, he can’t win.

No she doesn’t

“A YouGov poll (margin of error 3.1) conducted July 13 - 16 and released Thursday found Biden would lose to Trump 41% to 43%, while Harris would perform slightly worse, losing to Trump 39% to 44%.”

“A Reuters/Ipsos poll released July 2 (margin of error 3.5) found Harris would lose to Trump by one point, Biden tied Trump, while four governors who have been floated as potential Biden replacements—Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, California Gov. Gavin Newsom, Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear and Illinois Gov. J.B. Pritzker—would all perform worse than both Biden and Harris against Trump.”

The situation is fluid and your data may not be the best.

https://www.timesofisrael.com/biden-could-drop-out-of-presidential-race-as-early-as-this-weekend-report-suggests/

In Virginia, where Biden leads over Trump with three percentage points, the poll found that Harris would be ahead by five points. And in Pennsylvania, where Biden is trailing Trump by three points, Harris would significantly close the gap, with just one point between her and Trump.

I would say she has room to grow if put in the spotlight. Again, time and resources are of the essence.

3 ( +10 / -7 )

Obama didn't exactly endorse Biden for president in 2019, if you recall. Because Obama knew then that Biden had long already been incompetent. But useful as a puppet.

Kamala, the next-"best" democrat, is an expert at offering up nonsensical word salads.

For example:

"Vice President Kamala Harris served up another word salad last week at a music festival in New Orleans, giving a repetitive definition of the word “culture” before breaking into her trademark cackle.

“Culture is — it is a reflection of our moment in our time, right? And in present culture is the way we express how we’re feeling about the moment,” Harris, 58, told audience members at the Essence Festival of Culture in the Caesars Superdome.

"And we should always find times to express how we feel about the moment that is a reflection of joy, because as you know, it comes in the morning,” the vice president added, bursting into laughter.

“We have to find ways to also express the way we feel about the moment in terms of just having language and a connection to how people are experiencing life. And I think about it in that way too,” she said.

Now THAT is a full word salad!

3 ( +11 / -8 )

Actually, she doesn't. She polls a bit higher than Biden.

I’d also like to add:

”looking at the specific polls included in the Trump-Harris Average, Harris only outperforms Biden in two polls: one from CNN, taken from June 28 to 30, and one from ABC News/Washington Post. In three polls, Biden and Harris performed equally, and in four, Biden did better against Trump than Harris. Harris only does better in the RCP Average than Biden because a few polls showed substantive leads for Trump but only measured the Biden-Trump matchup.”

Sparks are flying at the white house apparently. Biden will not endorse Harris and they are saying he may drop out of the race as early as Sunday. If he doesn't Endorse Harris I'm not sure what the next step will be for the Dems. I have a feeling Harris might call for the 25th amendment against Biden.

Obama, Pelosi, Clooney et al have known for over a year that Biden was too old to do this very difficult and important job, yet they never tried to get him to step down, until the debate. This shows that they're more concerned with winning the election than having a competent person in charge of the greatest military power in history. That, says it all. Their interests come before those of the American people, and the world, for that matter.

His COVID diagnosis came at the worst possible time for his campaign,

Was it?

Watching the difference networks, CNN, MSNBC, ABC, CBS even Fox, etc..thus past week, all of them had guests (supposed political analysts) from the left and the right saying fairly similar things.

They all went something like this:

"During the Republican convention they expect that Biden's camp will announce he has a health issue and that not long after that he will announce he is suffering from something and he will pull out"

After that they have all very different views on what will happen next, some said he will endorse Harris others said he will say he leaves it up to the people of the party do decide who will replace him.

I find it interesting that not only was this being said by pro republican analysts but pro Democrats.

And here we are several days later and they announced Biden is sick.

I didn't realize that the Teamsters Union leader endorsed Trump! wow! that's big! the far left Marxist dems have sold out the working class!

3 ( +9 / -6 )

It's pretty clear our MAGA-friends here haven't been listening to the far-right echo chamber so far today...

"Team Trump seems to be growing increasingly nervous about the likelihood that they will have to face off against a different candidate in November, with a top Trump adviser calling the push to replace Joe Biden on the ballot “a coup.”

Sitting down with Politico reporter Jonathan Martin at a CNN-Politico event at the Republican National Convention on Thursday, Trump campaign senior adviser and Republican strategist Chris LaCivita was asked how he’d feel about the replacement of Joe Biden. “Wouldn’t you like to know,” LaCivita quipped.

“This is nothing more than an attempted coup by the Democratic Party,” he quickly relented.

LaCivita accused Democrats of actively “deposing the president of the United States” and argued that Biden “can’t step down as a candidate for president because you’re cognitively impaired while still being president.”

“It’s literally a coup,” said LaCivita. “For everything they accuse Republicans of, they’re actually doing it on national TV every single day.”

https://www.yahoo.com/news/team-trump-freaking-over-likelihood-193008888.html

So the far-right talking point today is "coup" - no, not the one with the fake elector lists and Jan 6th insurrection - but the one by the "Dems" to get Biden to step aside...

Besides being another case of MAGA-projection, this clearly shows how much they fear anyone else on the Dem ticket...

Reasonable to support someone who you believe kills babies? Or for that matter encourages you to take the poisonous COVID vaccine? 

I guess that's what passes for "reasonable" in MAGA-world...

ROFL...

Yes, it’s reasonable. It’s reasonable for people to decide to vote for a candidate they think is less worse than the other candidate.

For example, many people don’t like the way the Biden administration is handling Israel’s response in Gaza and want a total ceasefire. However, they still will choose to vote for Biden as Trump is much more supportive of Israel than Biden. Using your logic those people would be supporting someone who condones the killing of innocent Palestinians and therefore hypocrites. Your worldview makes no sense and isn’t based in any sense of reality.

Do you think people only vote for those that they agree with 100% on every issue?

-3 ( +2 / -5 )

Unfortunately, just looking at that photo accompanying the story says a lot. Biden looks like he's half there and half somewhere else. Biden does need to drop out but there's no one else that can really challenge Trump now at this late stage of the game. The Democrats are caught between a rock and a hard place.

It seems almost irrelevant at this point. Trump has risen despite every attempt to take him down. It ALL backfired, it's almost been cathartic to witness. Even the mighty Obama cannot save things now, with all legitimacy has been lost, one bad decision after the other, one brick at a time.

Loyal dems, keep using your banner words to get through this guys. Maga, nazi, sexist, rapist, felon, misogynist, autocrat, dictator, fascist, undemocratic, hateful, divisive, racist, Russian colluder, narcissist, patriot, whatever you think will signal your moralistic authority. It is all just noise now cause the adults have left the table. Things by the way , will be just fine.

It just doesn't get clearer than what we witnessing right now. The republicans are uniting while the democrats are in full blown divisive tenth hour panic massacre mode. Seeing the two political mindsets playout to their end game has been brilliant. See you on the other end of whatever is to come. God bless America! Yall a bunch a crazy nutters but we still love and need you!

Here’s the Elephant in the room. The Dems - every contender for taking Biden’s place - flat out knew that Joe was in cognitive decline at least years ago.

They all lied about it while mocking and ridiculing anyone who pointed out the truth of Joe’s seriously declining mental faculties.

This fact, and the question of who has/have actually been in charge for the last 4 years will be HUGE.

Barack Obama has reportedly told allies that Joe Biden must reconsider whether to stay in the White House race, 

There it is.

Break out the towel and heave.

As far Democrats are concerned.

Obama (God) just spoke.

I predict with 48 hours the announcement will come and the scramble to stay in power with be feverish.

To little to late.

Trump! Trump! Trump!

You're trying to make the case that one baby killer is better than another...think about that for a second...

If less babies are being aborted under one administration than another, and that administration is working towards making abortion less accessible, then that administration would objectively would be a better choice for those who find abortion morally wrong. I’ll make it even more simple: If less abortions were to happen under Trumps administration than Biden’s, then Trump would be the better choice for those people who are anti-abortion. What part of what I just said don’t you agree with?

Once again, think about what you're saying - it's the same as "it's OK to kill a five year old, but not after he turns twelve"....

And once again, which camp are you in - life begins at conception period - or killing them until the 15th week is OK?

I think life begins at conception. I don’t see why you care about my opinion though I’m not a Trump supporter for the third time now

Good for you...lots of evangelicals share your view and won't be supporting him this time either since he caved and surrendered on their core value...

That's what Repubs do - MAGA-fantasy-land...where Hannibal Lector is a "wonderful man"...

I happen to think Sir. A. Hopkins is a wonderful person who does great work.

Anthony donated a series of his landscape paintings to the San Antonio library for their literacy program, Born to Read.

He also contributed music which he composed for a fundraiser to benefit the financially troubled San Antonio Symphony.

Hopkins donated his time to film a public service announcement for The Cancer Project.

Hopkins was President of the National Trust’s Snowdonia Appeal, raising funds for the preservation of the Snowdonia National Park in Wales and to aid the Trust’s efforts to purchase parts of Snowdon. A book celebrating these efforts, Anthony Hopkins’ Snowdonia, was published together with Graham Nobles.

He was a Guest of Honor at a Gala Fundraiser for Women in Recovery, Inc.. There is more and much more.

It seems almost irrelevant at this point. Trump has risen despite every attempt to take him down. It ALL backfired, it's almost been cathartic to witness.

There have been no attempt to take Trump down, except through the ballot box.

Here’s the Elephant in the room. The Dems - every contender for taking Biden’s place - flat out knew that Joe was in cognitive decline at least years ago.

And yet he's passed the CHIPS act, the Infrastructure act, the Inflation Reduction act, lowered insulin costs, and many more. If he is cognitive decline, how could he achieve so much?

I'll take that over Trumps tax cuts to the rich any day.

That’s not even close to what I said. I’m honestly baffled on how you came up with that interpretation because I literally said nothing even close to that.

If you want to use your example what I said is “it’s reasonable for people who are against killing 5 year olds to vote for the guy who has a record of making it more difficult to kill 5 year olds than the other guy”

Good for you...lots of evangelicals share your view and won't be supporting him this time either since he caved and surrendered on their core value...

You’re just factually wrong here:

“While most White Christian voters say they would vote for Trump over Biden if the election were held today, there are some differences by religious tradition. Trump draws support from: 

81% of White evangelical Protestant voters”

Of course it is - Trump is for allowing abortions until the 15th week - and you believe any fetus after conception is a "child"....

Whether the child is in the 10th week of gestation or ten years old is irrelevant - killing one is the same as killing the other...

If you want to use your example what I said is “it’s reasonable for people who are against killing 5 year olds to vote for the guy who has a record of making it more difficult to kill 5 year olds than the other guy”

Here's some facts...

“A lot of people feel politically homeless right now. They feel so betrayed by the Republican Party, and honestly, they feel betrayed by Trump because of the things that he’s been saying about life in the womb,” Abby Johnson, a prominent anti-abortion Christian activist, told NOTUS. She added that based on conversations she has had with “thousands” of people across the country, “there’s a lot of people that are going to sit [the election] out."

fighting the battle as usual. Kudos to your dedication and shedding light that the other side. As they refuse to even consider the possibility that their media might be hiding the truth.

-2 ( +5 / -7 )

Of course it is - Trump is for allowing abortions until the 15th week - and you believe any fetus after conception is a "child"....

Trump isn’t “allowing” anything. The president doesn’t have dictatorial power over when people can and can’t have abortions over the entire US

Whether the child is in the 10th week of gestation or ten years old is irrelevant - killing one is the same as killing the other...

Yes, and if Trump’s policies result in fewer killings then that’s an argument for voting for him from the stance of someone who is anti-abortion

Once again, think over that one again...Trump APPROVES of abortions until the 15th week - he's not against it...

It doesn’t matter what he believes. His policies have resulted in less abortions than those of Biden. How is this difficult to understand?

“A lot of people feel politically homeless right now. They feel so betrayed by the Republican Party, and honestly, they feel betrayed by Trump because of the things that he’s been saying about life in the womb,” Abby Johnson, a prominent anti-abortion Christian activist, told NOTUS. She added that based on conversations she has had with “thousands” of people across the country, “there’s a lot of people that are going to sit [the election] out."

Why are you deflecting again? You stated that Evangelicals won’t vote for Trump. I showed you counter evidence that completely proved you wrong. Now you’re talking about something completely different. Do you acknowledge that you were wrong about evangelicals not voting for Trump?

I will not shed tears to see Biden out of the running. Believe it or not, I once teared up when Obama was sworn in and was pitching his yes We can. I was pulled in to believe him. Over the years, found out what he really was about and became independent. I reluctantly voted for Trump because thought it couldn’t be worse than Hillary. Have to say, teared up again seeing and listening to him speak at the opening.
